Since WMs in texas are seeing wave three I bet us central NC folks won't be seeing these until Target or TRU clear some space after actually GETTING these cases. (at least for me, Cary, Garner, Raleigh and Clayton WMs don't carry Joes and if they do they're awful POC figs.
What's your prediction on the availability of wave 3 with all of the renegades rotting on the pegs locally? |

I went to the inside pitch show in Charlotte over the weekend. GI Joe was slim pickins. GI Dave (for those who know him) wasn't there this time. Picked up 3 25th figures, a GI Joe vs Cobra Rattler, a Hurricane VTOL shell, and a 25th Target Hiss. Paid a little too much, but that's the nature of the beast.

I'm thinking I should see them at my Wal-Mart. They have three pegs for Joes, only two being used. And while those two are holding up a bunch of Renegades figs, there is still plenty of room for a case or two to be put out. Only downside is that there is no Toy Manager, or people solely dedicated to that section, so sometimes there is a delay of anything being put out. they dd add a case last week, and I saw a case of Star Wars out today so there is a good chance.
I may have to beg you to scoop me a Storm Shadow if the pickings are too slim in Raleigh! |

Both Target & Toys R Us in Hickory recently got the new Renegades figures in if anyone live nearby want to find Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes, & Firefly. If anyone spot wave 3 with Storm Shadow, Cobra Trooper, Scarlett, & Techno Viper, please let me know.

Talked with a toy stocker in a local walmart today with some info. There are currently 3 pegs with some figures already on it (1st Renegades figures and such) but when I asked the toy stocker if they had any GI Joe coming in on the truck tonight he told me she (I assume the toy manager) just ordered some today and it usually takes about a week for them to get their orders from the distribution center.
So maybe within the week we'll see the new figures at Walmart |

I know. It's just where I'm at, they're terrible with getting newer toys. I live in Morganton & the plain Wal-Mart here (they will have a Super one in 2013 though) just flat out suck. They did carry the Joes for awhile when the 25th lines first came out to RoC. After RoC, they stop carrying them. Kinda frustrating sometime I go out of town to look for them. I think not selling the RoC very well might have made them decide to not carry them anymore, but I think overloading it with too many Neo-Viper & Destro was the reason why. If they sell many new PoC figures, I'm sure it would sell better.
